DOT/FMCSA RIN: 2126-AA53 Publication ID: Fall 2002 
Title: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations; Interstate School Bus Safety 
Abstract: FMCSA is considering making the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) apply to all interstate school transportation operations by local educational agencies. This action is in response to section 4024 of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) which mandates the FMCSA to make a determination whether to make the FMCSRs applicable to such operations. FMCSA requested comments, data, and information to assist the agency in making this determination. This action is considered significant because of the anticipated substantial interest by the public and private sectors if the agency expands the FMCSRs to cover government-operated school buses in interstate commerce.
